New York State Police discovery of fake registration sticker

Overview

New York State Police reported a traffic stop in Western New York where a driver was found using a homemade vehicle registration sticker. The makeshift sticker was fashioned from a prescription label for Permethrin 5% cream, a medication used to treat scabies.

The label contained medical instructions to massage the cream into the skin from head to toe and leave it on for 8 to 14 hours. State Police shared the incident on social media, noting the absurdity of the attempt. It remains unconfirmed if the driver faced additional charges beyond the initial stop.
